Im not sure I like the upgrade.. well the quick reply things is cool... I dont care for the karma thing and I think it sucks kids under 13 are being kicked off.. I mean now they are going to have to find another forum hopfully as active as this one to ask their questions.. and I cant seem to figure out how to recive email notifications  Guess I need to give it some time  |

They can still use this forum as guests! Probably some US law that does not allow children under 13 on forums! Cannot find why.

Indeed strange, but when I use this forum as guest, nobody asks for an age, so everyone younger can use it too.
But they will not have a profile or be allowed in member areas. I gues it is some protection to prevent child abuse or something.

It is deed a US law, I've asked on support board! Some Online Child Protection Act. ProBoards must follow that US federal law as they are based in California.

About e-mail notifications and bookmarks:
We are introducing a new system to replace the notifications system. Using the bookmarks system, you will be able to bookmark different threads and have quick access to them from your profile screen.
For each bookmark, you can specify whether you would like to receive a PM, an email, or receive no notification when a new post is made in the thread that is bookmarked.
You will only receive notification that a thread has been updated one time until you view the thread again. This means that if 10 people post before you get back to a thread, you still only get notified once. Once you view the thread, you may then receive notifications again.
An option will be available to set what your default notification action should be for threads you bookmark. For example, you can set your default action to be to PM you. Then any time you bookmark a thread in the future, it will automatically set that bookmark to notify you by PM of any updates.

That was one thing I didn't like, a bunch of emails linking me to the same thread. -Jeremiah |
